Crater Gassendi with a QHY5

Hello!

As it's getting towards a Full Moon, I thought I'd get the QHY5 out and about and image parts of the Moon. My target tonight was Crater Gassendi as it has a lot of interesting features within the crater itself. It also gave me a chance to try out my new electronic focuser! I used a 2x Barlow which gave me about f/14...

The resultant picture was the best 1000 frames of a 1500 frame avi stacked in Registax6. I then applied wavelets within Registax6 and then did some further processing within StarTools and PS.

I'm happy with this image as focus was as good as it gets!

Cheers,
Mario
